Silex Systems Limited (ASX: SLX) has recently concluded a successful institutional placement (Placement) of AU$120 million at an offer price of AU$4.05 per new share. This news is welcome as it received substantial support from local as well as international investors, including new institutions and existing eligible shareholders. The Placement has generated a considerable amount of funds, which will be combined with the existing cash reserves to expedite the commercialisation process of the innovative SILEX laser enrichment technology.

The primary objective of this acceleration is to capitalise on various strategic market opportunities in:

  • Uranium production
  • Enrichment, medical isotopes
  • Zero -Spin Silicon (ZS-Si)
  • Medical isotopes

The New Shares issued under the Placement will have the same ranking as the existing Silex ordinary shares. The New Shares are expected to be allotted on Tuesday, 7 March 2023, and their trading will commence on the same day on the ASX. Silex announced that it would be offering eligible shareholders an opportunity to acquire new shares worth up to AU$30,000 through a non-underwritten Share Purchase Plan (SPP). The aim of this plan is to raise an additional AU$20 million.
